WHY THE BAD BOY is GOOD.

Now doth the wicked little boy,
Who to Sunday school ne'er goes,
Hunt up the nearest gospel shop
And thither turn his toes.
He sits beside the real good child,
Who's been there all the year;
And smokers in his sleeve to think
How green he doth appear.
But when the Christmas tree doth come,
The bad boy gets the skates
The good boy gets Christmas card
And two-cent bag of dates.

the Waverly station house. Yesterday
morning he was brought before Justice
Dorsey at Hampd n. where hearing was

that Poteet had spent good deal of m on

him. Mrs. French indignantly refused,

The husband immediately confronted Po-

very deliberately told him that he would
give him $500 cash for his wife. This
sum French refused TO take for his wife

Military Matters.

Permission has been granted to the
Custer Sons of Veteran, military organi-
zation of Washington, ID. c., to visit
Riverview on the Potomac, with arms
and equipments, for prize shooting on the
18th of July.
The time and route of march for the
encampment of the State militia will be
announced tomorrow through General
Brown, from Baltimore, to the different
commands.
Blanket bags of the latest adopted pat
terms by the I. S.,to be used by the State
troops in the encampment, will be receiv
ed in few days and Immediately issued
to the troops by the Adjutant General.
The Adjutant General is of opinion that
there will be no serious objection by the
State troops to going into camp without
pay, when upon reflection it will be seen
that the item of pay alone. exclusive of
the large expenditure for subsistence,
transportation and many other incidental
expenses attending the camp will amount
to over $4,000. He says the State has
been very liberal in her expenditures in
equipping the men with everything new
for the encampment, whereas heretofore
they were anxious to go into camp and
pay their own expenses. He thinks there
will be pretty general response from all
the companies
